Sauber look to have a vent in the step of the nose too. Video borked here too.

Saubers' is an outlet vent, or at the very least a slit to create a low pressure area on the nose, this one looks like a vent which directly takes in air. Hard to tell though from the dark, quick cutting preview video though.

ok, that settles it, mclaren is the f1 2012 world champions.......
Your posts get more stupid with every one you make.
Hadn't seen the launch video when I posted that. It's a reasonable sized slot, much bigger than what you would normally find in the nose itself. I wonder what trickery it's for?

awful video. cant see the damn car. all style and no payoff
Look normal to me, doesn't look like much difference if any to mclaren, other than rbr seem to have larger openings.

Here's a close up of the slot in the nose-step:

Nope. Makes me think McLaren have sensibly stuck with the lower nose design they already had, rather than taking a risk on a high nose design they would have been a couple of years behind on developing compared to their rivals.

Look at the size of the sidepod compared to the width of the floor. All other cars the sidepod exceeds that width, the RBRs doesn't.
I see, would be much easier to compare with a top view. Come on where's all the pics.
